Losanjealous Concert Picks: June 11 – 17

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM @ El ReySun | Mon | Tues
Potentially legendary sold out 3-night stand for J. Murphy and Co., and, if I’m not mistaken, the first trio of sold out El Rey gigs for a single act since White Stripes in 2002. Could be a turning point for them before a breakout to the masses.

Umm, I did say except KROQ shows, right? They did play ACC @ The Gibson twice, Verizon twice & once in the gateway to hell, the Hyundai Pavillion. You were right, it was once at The Greek. My bad. he Gibson does seem like where their next gig would land.

Maybe Interpol will play The Gibson. They haven’t played there yet. Big, but intimate. Also, just so you know, The Arcade Fire is coming back in September to play at The Hollywood Bowl. Same with LCD Soundsystem.

Maybe The Greek, but I doubt it. Their first L.A. shows we’re two shows at the Troubadour, then two shows at The Henry Fonda, two Palladium shows, 1 Wiltern show, two at the Olympic, two more Wiltern, two Greek and I forget after that. Not counting KROQ Festival shows of course. All that’s left is the Hollywood Bowl. A small show would entail a small “secret” or warm-up show being set up.

If Interpol is in fact the next band on KROQ’S “Road Trip” giveaway the tickets will definitely be on sale next Saturday the 23rd. I wonder what venue they’ll play on their headlining tour in LA…Wiltern?

Good point…I’m sure what they’ll do is announce on Monday morning their new band for the month long “KROQ Road Trip” will be Interpol and what they’ll do is announce a headlining LA show and the grand prize will be to send you to one of their midwest dates in August or something.

They probably mean the World Tour contest they’ve been having every week. They have a contest where they send fans around the world to check out their favorite band. If they do play a show here, it might be at Icky thump records! LOL

My friend heard Jed The Fish from KROQ say “Be on the look out” for and Interpo secret show soon…I looked and they are in Europe..the 23, next week. So if anythingI am assuming somtime in the next 4 days…any truth out there? PLEASE PLEASE HElP!!!

[…] me while I’m on vacation. LET THE CONTEST BEGIN! postscript: mailbox 6000 will continue to dish out concert tickets and accept craptastic cell phone photo submissions while all of the world’s bloggers are on […]

@Anonymous: They have an Amex presale going on. Judging from the sections listed, they’ve got risers on the floor, but it seems to be mostly GA. They seem to have a separate selection for moshpit, but it’s a bit confusing — it said “FLOOR GA
GA FLOOR SECTION MOSH PIT” when I was buying the ticket but my confirmation just says “section FLR GA”. Supposedly they’ll have fanclub presales as well, sometime next week (and I’m betting those service fees would be comparatively less), the same time as their San Diego show.

Hammer Museum’s got “Also I Like to Rock” free concert series for every Thursday in July (8pm):
07/05: Foreign Born & Great Northern
07/12: The Pity Party & The Little Ones
07/19: Castledoor & Fields
